Zoya Enchanted Collection Swatches & Review

The Zoya Enchanted Collection for Winter/Holiday 2016 is like the Little Drummer Boy who doesn’t miss a magical beat!

Although green nail polish makes my heart race, I can’t seem to pick an ultimate favourite out of the bunch.

Featuring four new textured lacquers in the popular PixieDust formula and two shades with a fun flash of colour, the Zoya Enchanted Collection makes a great stocking stuffer for the nail junkie on your Christmas list.

They all offer great pigmentation and full coverage with just two coats. Additionally, the top-notch formulas were what I have come to expect from Zoya. (This brand’s consistent!) They glide on easily. The shimmers are effortless, and the PixieDusts apply evenly.

As with most textured nail polishes, the PIxieDusts dry rapidly, which makes them a great choice for when you need a quick manicure and to be out the door. They’re also easy to remove, so you won’t need to scrub your poor fingers.

Zoya certainly hits a home run with this collection. There’s not a single dud among them, in my opinion. There’s a wide variety of colours, which helps to appeal to people with different preferences, and even if you don’t care for textured nail polishes, just slap on a layer or two of a thick glossy top coat to get a glass-like finish.

I really like how this collection doesn’t scream, “Traditional Christmas!” with lots of reds. I enjoy reds, but sometimes it can feel too predictable for a holiday collection.

My favorite? All of them! I mean, PixieDusts and duochrome… who could pick between those? 😉

As for Holiday traditions… I can’t wait until December 6th when we’ll be getting our tree and decorate it. December 5th is a children’s holiday over here (just check out Sinterklaas on Wikipedia if you’re curious) and when I was a kid of course that was celebrated first and after that it was time for Christmas. I still keep that timeline (and yes, I actually feel a little like a kid again on December 5th 😉 )Joyce recently posted: Winter wonderland in white

Because greens, blues, and purples are my favorite polish shades I have been ecstatic about this collection! The fact that they also went the texture route… be still my heart!!! Your swatches all look flawless, this is definitely a collection made for people like me

I know exactly how you feel! They incorporated my favourite shades, too! This is easily my all-time favourite Zoya collection in a long time, and that’s saying something because I enjoy a lot of their releases.
